"writerperfect"

It isn't clear what a "writerperfect package" is.

Reproducible builds

The reproducible builds effort (https://reproducible.archlinux.org/) should probably be mentioned somewhere, perhaps under the package management or history section. Per the Arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Reproducible_builds) the project appears to have been started sometime in 2020.

I added a paragraph dedicated to reproducible builds in the package management section. LevitatingBusinessMan (talk) 12:08, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Userland "busybox can be installed if the user desires"

I think it's weird to specify that BusyBox can be installed in the userland part of the OS template. ArchLinux does not work without the GNU coreutils and most distributions allow busybox to be installed. But we don't have "BusyBox can be installed if the user desires" added to the Debian Page. Besides, the userland is much more than just the coreutils. LevitatingBusinessMan (talk) 09:01, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, I removed it. Dexxor (talk) 18:08, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
